Just keep in mind FE is a decent first job or after 121 retirement job... but it's not really a place you're going to spend your career and I think management recognizes that.
Sorry to hear about FE being in a slow downward spiral. I’ve had the displeasure of experience the same when I was with an ACMI operation out of FLL some 20 years ago. Nice to know that there are more options out there today than 20 years ago… Either majors or another 135 operator. Good luck people.
